AVOJOINZ – A MATTER OF SCIENCE & FOOD

A Matter of Science & Food

For Joint Protection and Cartilage Health


Arthritis are a leading cause of disability

that affecting 350 million people

worldwide

There are at least 100 different forms of arthritis recognised today but the most

common ones are osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and gout.

What is Arthritis?

Treatments not so complex

Usually affects just one side of the joints, produce

asymmetric symptoms

Pain restricted to affected joints

Generally affects older

people

Mainly restricted to joints (wear &

tear)

1. OSTEOARTHRITIS

The most common form?

Treatment is often complex

Generally symmetrical in affected joints with numerous

other symptoms

Can be whole body pain

Affect people of any age

Affecting the whole body

( Autoimmune condition)

2. RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS

The most common form?

AVOJOINZ – A MATTER OF SCIENCE & FOOD How osteoarthritis occurs?

Cartilage destruction

Inflammation

Affecting

neighbouring tissue → inflamed

Cartilage debris

causes joint space

narrowing

1. Pain

2. Swelling Force exert on

cartilage (obesity,

exercise, etc)

1. Bone damaged

2. Joint discomfort

3. Loss of mobility Symptoms:1. Pain

2. Stiffness

3. Swelling

4. Redness

5. Decrease in range of motion


Traditionally, arthritis was treated with anti-

inflammatorymedications and

painkillers.

Nevertheless, some medications can

cause side effects.

Hence, there is a desperate need for safe and efficacious natural alternatives.

Recent years, natural approach to pain relief appears as one of the

famous choices for symptoms relieving.

E.g. NSAIDs – reduce swelling and joint pain

Steroids – reduce swelling

Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs

(DMARDS) – joint protection

TNF blockers – reduce stiffness and swollen joints

Current situation?


Introducing

Lubricate. Repair. Protect


Food for thought?

Avocado-soybean unsaponifiables phytosterols

(Avocadoflex®)

Tremella

(snow fungus)Seaweed calcium Boswellia (fragrant

resin)

Multivitamins Curcumin


Avocado-soybean unsaponifiables phytosterols

(Avocadoflex®)

Natural vegetable extracts consisting of avocado and

soybean unsaponifiable extract in a 1:2 ratio

Major component → phytosterols (Beta sitosterol,

campesterol & stigmasterol)

1. Anti inflammatory and pain reducing→ decrease need for analgesics

2. Protection of articular cartilage

3. Chondroprotective and positive effects on extracellular matrix

4. Lower LDL cholesterol

5. Studies shows that ASU are beneficial towards osteroporosis

Food for thought?


Tremella

(snow fungus)

commonly known as snow fungus

Acts like a lubricant to keep cartilage elastic and

smooth

Produce hyaluronic acid

- bond water to lubricate movable parts in the body

(Eg.: muscle and joints)

Food for thought?


Seaweed calcium

Body-friendly form of calcium and comes naturally

with more than a dozen trace minerals.

Rich in highly bioavailable sources of calcium and 74

types of bone essential trace minerals, such as

magnesium

Readily absorbed into the body and increase bone

mineral density

Food for thought?


A type of fragrant resin act as effective painkiller and

prevent the loss of cartilage

Prevent the formation of leukotrienes, the molecules

that cause inflammation in the body

Treat chronic inflammatory illnesses, decrease pain

and improved mobility in individuals with knee

osteoarthritis

Food for thought?

Boswellia (fragrant resin)


Curcumin

The main bioactive substance found in turmeric.

Curcumin has been used in India for thousands of

years as a spice and medicinal herb.

Proven to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant

properties, can reduce pain, inflammation and

stiffness in the joint

Food for thought?


Multivitamins

Specially enriched with multivitamins to provide all essential vitamins and

minerals for joint health and maintain muscle strength

Food for thought?


Anti-inflammation & cartilage protection

through Avocado-soybean unsaponifiables phytosterols

Lubricate joint

with tremella

Increase bone strength

by seaweed calcium

Easier motion

with boswellia

Strengthen muscle

with multivitamins

Antioxidant boost

by curcumin

How it works?


Avojoinz, how?

Glucosamine + Chondroitin Some precautions to be take note with:

1. Glucosamine → derived from skeletons of shellfish

chondroitin → derived from cartilage of cow, pig and sharks

2. People allergy to shellfish should be cautious and advise to seek for professional advise prior taking it

3. May come along with mild side effects: constipation, diarrhea, skin rashes, fatigue, headaches, stomach aches and indigestion.

4. Patients on warfarin /blood thinning drugs should not take glucosamine

Tips for you!


+

1. Stir well and drink immediately after

preparation

150 ml of water

Easiest way to drink

2. Consume 1 or 2 sachet daily
